    Abstract: A belt device includes a plurality of support rotators, a belt, a cleaner, and a rotator inclination unit. The belt is looped around the plurality of support rotators and moves according to rotation of the plurality of support rotators. The cleaner contacts a surface of the belt to remove foreign substances. The rotator inclination unit inclines an inclined support rotator that is at least one of the plurality of support rotators. The cleaner is disposed in contact with a portion of the belt stretched taut between the inclined support rotator and another support rotator. A pushing amount of the cleaner relative to the belt varies according to inclination of the inclined support rotator and is smallest in a state in which the inclined support rotator is not inclined by the rotator inclination unit.

    Abstract: A belt device includes a plurality of support rotators, a belt, a rotator inclination unit, a belt tension adjuster, and a descent stopper. The belt is looped around the plurality of support rotators and rotated by rotation of the plurality support rotators. The rotator inclination unit inclines a rotation axis of a first support rotator of the plurality of support rotators relative to a rotation axis of another support rotator of the plurality of support rotators that is different from the first support rotator. The belt tension adjuster adjusts tension of the belt, and the descent stopper prevents the first support rotator from descending.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a belt cleaning device is provided. The belt cleaning device includes an image bearing belt having an elastic layer, a cleaning member, a cleaning facing member, and a side seal. A surface of the image bearing belt is movable. The cleaning member is in contact with the surface of the image bearing belt to remove a substance adhered thereto. The cleaning facing member is disposed on a back-surface side of the image bearing belt while facing the cleaning member with the image bearing belt therebetween. The side seal is disposed to an axial end part of the cleaning member and pressed against the surface of the image bearing belt. The cleaning facing member is out of contact with the back side of the image bearing belt within an area where the cleaning facing member faces the side seal with respect to an axial direction.
